Don't Forget What Really Matters

Carl Coleman was driving to work one morning when he bumped fenders with another motorist.

Both cars stopped, and a woman driving the other car got out to survey the damage. She was distraught. It was her fault, she admitted, and hers was a new car, less than two days from the showroom. She dreaded facing her husband. Coleman was sympathetic; but he had to pursue the exchange of license and registration data.

She reached into her glove compartment to retrieve the documents in an envelope.

On the first paper to tumble out, written in her husband's distinctive hand, were these words: 'In case of accident, remember, honey, it's you I love, not the car.'

~ Paul Harvey

'Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God. In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us first, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.' -1 John 4:7-11
